The Cruising Log of S/Y Maritime Express

It is often the misconception that women are on cruising boats because that was what the man wanted to do.

Gail was the instigator, but it didn't take much effort to convince Henry to at least give it a try.

They left Canada's East Coast telling family and friends that they would probably not be home for about two years if they did not like this life. Why so long? Passage time back to Canada would be limited by weather, like hurricanes, etc.

They experienced excitement, adventure, and boat projects, and explored new places they never thought they would see, learning to navigate the bureaucracy that changed with each country.

Ten years later they ended their cruising adventure in Australia when they got an offer they couldn't refuse for S/Y Maritime Express. Be sure to read the upcoming Pacific Log.
